The 44' MLB was designed by the U.S. Coast Guard,
with work starting on the prototype (USCG 44300) in April 1961,
which was completed on the 9 March 1962. A total of 110, 44' MLB's
were built for the U.S. Coast Guard, with the last boat (USCG 44409)
being completed in 1972.
There was a great interest shown in this self-righting 44' MLB at
the Ninth International Lifeboat Conference in Scotland in 1963,
which eventually resulted in several countries adopting the design
with some modifications for their own lifesaving organizations.
The RNLI in Britain acquired the USCG 44328 in 1964 and built a
further 21, naming the class "Waveney" after the river
in which the first boats were built. The Canadian Coast Guard recived
the USCG 44353 in 1966 and built a further 17. The Italian Coast
Guard purchased the USCG 44337 and USCG 44338 while the Norwegian
Society for Sea Rescue and the Portuguese Institute for Lifesaving
both built two boats. A further ten boats were built under licence
in England for Iranian Coast Guard, bringing the total in all to
162.
As a measure of the success of the design of this boat, over half
of the decommissioned US Coast Guard 44 MLB's have been transfer
to foreign maritime services, under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
program and more than half of the RNLI's Waveney's have now started
a new era of lifesaving in Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay and Canada,
nearly 40 years on!!!
